 > Although some version of Qt can build on 10.7-10.12 (see changesets in
 this ticket and #52922), I can see no realistic way of adding support for
 10.6.[[BR]]
 > Going back many versions, Qt 5 uses
 [https://developer.apple.com/reference/corefoundation/1542555-cfrunlooptimercreatewithhandler?language=objc
 CFRunLoopTimerCreateWithHandler], which was not introduced until Mac OS X
 10.7.[[BR]]

 That might be possible via some CFLite library (still needs clang,
 unfortunately) like https://github.com/mlabbe/CoreFoundation
